Hi,
New here, joined about 3 seconds ago and have a question that google and my parents cant answer. How many bags/kg/whatever of sand and cement do I need to fill in the gaps between my paving slabs?

Hi
It really depends on a few things; type of slabs, location etc...
We do have a project covering this subject that may help you out, although the method described below is really suited to dry conditions, so if you are thinking of doing it this time of year, it may be worth waiting:

Hi
Temperatures vary depending on what area of the country you are in which can affect drying times
Kind Regards
